5.0 of 5 stars. I love this place! It's very conveniently located downtown- close to everything, yet tucked away. Sam is a one-man operation always down for a good conversation about politics, business, the economy,...

Life is too short for cheap sushi.

Sam really didn't want to be there and it shows. You can do much better by going elsewere.

Sam's Sushi, not bad for the price

I have been in Nashville now for two weeks and so far have tried five different sushi restaurants. Today I was privileged enough to try Mr. Sams city renowned sushi. Coming from a person who loves his sushi...

5.0 of 5 stars. I love Sam. He's no Nazi. He's got a great heart and a sharp wit and he just doesn't put up with any crap. If you're impatient or have a bad attitude, go somewhere else.. he doesn't want you there. I...

Best Sushi in the area

Simply the best sushi for the money in the area. Sam was extremely nice when we visted, and the sushi was very tasty. I will be going back next week!

3.0 of 5 stars. i would give this place 2 stars since 2 starts stand for "meh, I've had better", but I'm giving it 3 stars since it seems to be the only sushi place open during the day in nashville. The guy is not a...

Don't waste your time...

...I stopped by Sam's and got the same treatment by Sam as the last poster only this time it was in the evening. Apparently Sam likes hipsters "his friends" more than making money. There are three other sushi...

AVOID SAM'S SUSHI

We had been hearing about Sam's for a while so 4 of us went for lunch. We walked in, Sam asked if we were new, we were. He said he only served regulars and he would not serve us. I have never been treated like...

Delicious, inexpensive. Not a lot of seating. Have to pay to park. BUT ALL WORTH IT!

Sam is wonderful. He's tough, but a nice guy when you scratch the surface. He makes wonderfully authentic, Japanese sushi and boy is it delicious! It's a small place, but the food and prices more than make up...

3.0 of 5 stars. Going to Sam's is always an adventure. You never know just what he is going to feel like adding to that roll you just ordered. Which is mainly the reason I am not so much of a fan. I can be picky......

5.0 of 5 stars. This is one of my favorite sushi joints in town. Sam always asks me if I've been here, and how did I hear about him. The lunch specials are unbeatable. I've seen Sam order customers to sit at the...

5.0 of 5 stars. Poor Sam...his reputation as the Sushi Nazi is hardly fair. He's merely misunderstood, and considering the fact that he owns and operates his modest little sushi shop all by his lonesome, I think his...

Rude Jap

Food is cheap, taste "OK", long wait during lunch hour, and he's very rude sometimes. Also, you can order whatever you want, but he will give you whatever HE wants. Not recommended, unless you?d exchange your...

May be my favorite restaurant in Nashville

Sam's is truly everything that you've heard and more. He is the sushi Nazzi behind the counter, which I never would have believed had I not seen him kick someone out. Not only is the food extremely affordable,...

Seinfeld's Soup Nazzi meets Sushi

Sam is defniatley a charactor! Worth checking out! Sam will admit that he is not the best sushi in Nashville, but he is the cheapest. A group of 3 can order all the food they can eat, and be out the door for...

Rules of Sam's

Sam's is superb. The lunch special of one sushi roll and 3 pieces of nigiri for $4.75 is a great value: the sushi rolls are huge--8 pieces, each about 1" deep and 1.5" in diameter. When I've been I've gotten...

I've been going to Sams for a little over a year, and continue to do so. Good sushi, excellent prices, and he's a character! Best for "to go" or a couple - the restaurant is small. One of the best parts of the...

The sushi nazi of nashville is for real!

I work downtown, so any type of eatery outside of the "arcade" is a treat. This guy's place is a hole in the wall. However, his sushi rolls are huge, cheap, and really good. He works solo, and is a little...
